lyrics

Sir Isaac Newton

V1
He broke my nose
with a kick to the head.
We were street fighting men
and we were once were friends.
We fought in the bars and the streets for a trade
...and Sir Isaac Newton was proven right again

V2
With fist held high
ini the glory of the fight,
theyt hit the concrete
everye Saturday night..
FallingF to the ground,
e,
eyes rolled back white...Sir Isaac Newton, again, proven right

Chorus
Sir Isaac Newton, proven right againA lesson in gravity
A lesson in pain,
and a little bit of Einstein
straight to the face
and, Sir Isaac Newton, proven right again

V3
The big b men, foolish men
came fromc all around..
WithW a bloody bunch of fives
tthey’d be sleeping sweet and sound.
‘Cause what goes up,
surely
smust come down....as Sir Isaac predicted, it was tarmac town

Chorus
Sir Isaac Newton, proven right again
A lesson in gravity
A lesson in pain,
and a little bit of Einstein
straight to the face
and, Sir Isaac Newton, proven right again

V4
It was many years ago
I tried to make my way straight,
had I hmy first real go
a
at the Sunday morning game
But he was a hard swinging man
wwith no retirement plan,
...proving Isaac Newton with the bruises on his hands

Chorus
Sir Isaac Newton, proven right again
A lesson in gravity
A lesson in pain,
and a little bit of Einstein
straight to the face
and, Sir Isaac Newton, proven right again

V5
I I heard rumours on the road,
that ,the met with foul play,or he’s living down the coast,
or he’s in a shallow grave.
Other stories do recall,
it was a down dirty brawl...andand old sir Isaac Newton’s inevitable law

V6
And of my friend, I do not know, if he’s alive or dead,
,but I hope he found a way to grow old in the end..
But for a fighter like that,
it is a creed, not a trade
...and I’ve no doubt Sir Isaac Newton was proven right again.
